Population justification: The population size has been estimated at c.3,000 and c.5,000 individuals, but it may be more numerous than this. It is placed in the band 2,500-9,999 mature individuals, equating to 3,750-14,999 individuals in total, rounded here to 3,500-15,000 individuals.
Trend justification: Hunting and habitat loss and fragmentation remain important threats and together they are suspected to be driving a rapid population decline in this species.
